You may recall me threatening that “once I get Alyx in the GSM AF4 it’s all over for you fuckers”... well it’s months later and I have finally done that, RIP.

Help Name a Demon

So I have a demon in an Exalted setting which has had the placeholder name “The Gemfiend” for multiple years at this point. It is a TERRIBLE name. It makes him sound like he has something to do with Gem (he doesn’t) and it’s also just not very Exalted? So I’m taking suggestions for this trainwreck, because the one time I came up with a cool name for any character on my own I was running a 100+ degree fever and the coolness of the name was mostly derived from both meta and in-game backstory, not intrinsic good-name-ness.

So, the Gemfiend's whole thing is that he figured out a way to crystallize the "souls" of gods, and later the souls of humans, and then tap into them to use their power or take on their attributes. The result looks like precious stones (or sometimes just regular stones, but they generally give off a creepy vibe regardless). His big move to establish himself in Creation was to kill and crystallize a volcano god, then use the gem to make himself the volcano god. To prevent either the Wyld Hunt or Every Sidereal Ever coming over and kicking his butt immediately, he did this right at the edge of the Wyld where things are harder to see, and he's essentially camouflaged as a normal god of Creation so long as nobody looks too hard. (Sidereal lover and fellow player/sometime advisor to the ST @friendlytroll says Malfean essence can also prevent or mess with the ability to use the Loom.) Some of the weirdness of this technique will probably be connected in-game to a Primordial artifact the current ST is developing, though said artifact is spoilery which makes coordinating tricky.

  The Gemfiend knows he can use his new technique against gods, later discovers he can use it on humans (and possibly raksha), and thinks he might be able to use it on Neverborn- he thinks he can ultimately make himself a new Yozi if he pursues this research far enough. The Gemfiend Heirs (demon-blooded mortals) are all crafted with the crystallized souls of human enemies he admired in some respect, whose virtues he wanted in his own subordinates. (That’s working out great for him, as he murdered one himself, one was straight-up kidnapped by an Infernal who hates him, one was assisted in escaping by the same Infernal, and one faked her own death to turn state’s evidence to a Chosen of Endings.) His goal is basically modding- changing himself into something bigger and badder, remaking enemies into servants and allies, altering the lands he gains control over to better suit him.

It's also been established at this point that he has accidentally altered himself in ways he didn't intend. Before he made this play for a base in Creation, he was a cool, calculating, long term planning type. Since taking the volcano god's role, he's become more impulsive, angrier, and worse at planning. This unexpected change in his own nature is actually the root of most of his current problems, as he’s managed to scramble a lot of his original plans by acting rashly. (He tried to fix it by killing the volcano and making it just a cold mountain. There were mixed results.) But also he's not fully aware of the extent to which he's changed. He thinks of it as a kind of unnatural impulse, like summoning rules, when probably it's more intrinsic at this point. This effect is one reason why his ultimate goal is to get ahold of a Neverborn, not one of the extant Yozi; he believes (correctly or not) that the Neverborn are essentially “blank”, whereas if he somehow managed to take down a Yozi in this fashion the Yozi would probably still overwhelm him from the inside out.

Misc. fun facts: He’s at least part Malfy, but likely to be mixed somehow. Also he tried to do the “raise a puppy then shoot it to prove your loyalty” thing with the Heirs, except instead of a puppy he used humans, and it royally backfired on him because he has no concept of how to actually instill loyalty.

So... suggestions?
